Fiber Arts Friday

With the weather turning nicer the barn is demanding more of my attention. I guess it can be called "spring cleaning." And I was elated to haul out the sorely missed water hose! I am sporting some nice arm muscles due to hauling water buckets all over, but am relieved to not have to do that if possible.

I unfortunately did not get as far as I wanted on my fiber arts project. But here is the beginning. I am planning on trying my hand at a wet felted bowl. I am going to use carded alpaca, compliments of White Lace. I will embellish the bowl with pink merino and alpaca dyed in onion skins. I think it will be pretty. Below are the tools I will use to make the bowl. I cannot wait to take the scissors to the medieval torture chamber--a pair of panty hose! As I was sure no woman created the pantyhose, I lookws it up and yes, we can thank Mr. Allen Gant of South Carolina. Figures it was a man.

I will post the results of the bowl on the next FAF. If any of you have created a fiber bowl in the past and have suggestions, I would welcome them. Thanks.
